Quarterback Johnny Manziel appears to have taken the first step Tuesday towards entering the 2014 college draft.

Although he hasn’t made an official announcement yet, Manziel has picked the Houston based Select Sports Group as his contract agency according to ESPN.com. It is unclear whether he has signed with the agency, which would forfeit his eligibility, or will sign if he declares for the draft.

He reportedly picked LRMR, the firm run by LeBron James’ business partner, Maverick Carter, to do his marketing. Manziel was seen sitting courtside with Carter for the Miami Heat's game against the Golden State Warriors last week.

It has been widely assumed that the Texas A@M quarterback would forego his last two years of college eligibility to enter the draft. Manziel said on Monday that he remains undecided about entering the draft and wants to meet with his family before making an announcement.

Although a consensus index of six top draft services rated Manziel 14th in the draft class, he is likely to be a top ten pick because teams are desperate for quarterbacks.

Louisville’s Teddy Bridgewater is ranked as the top quarterback prospect while UCF’s Blake Bortles and Fresno State's Derek Carr are also rated as first round picks. Todd McShay of ESPN has Bridgewater, Bortles and Manziel going in the top four picks.

Whether Manziel will be considered by the Jaguars in the third spot if Bridgewater is gone remains to be seen. It’s likely the Jaguars will spend a lot of time studying him.

There are questions about his arm strength and whether his exciting college style fits in the NFL. He also has had a series of off the field problems and was suspended for the first half of the first game, presumably for selling signing autographs for memorabilia brokers although he denied the allegations.

Manziel would create a lot of buzz for the Jaguars and probably help to sell tickets. He already has his own marketing company, JMAN2 Enterprizes. He is attempting to trademark his nickname Johnny Football although that matter is up in the air because a Texas A@M fan filed for the trademark before he did.

There’s no doubt that Manziel’s draft rating will be one of the major storylines in this draft. He may have more charisma than any other player in the draft.
